Kinds Of Eaters.

An old writer says there are five kinds
of eaters:
l. There is your dull man, who seems
to eat merely from habit, mainly be-
cause his parents did so before him, and
he expects his children will follow his
example.
2. Your impatient, idgety being, who
is all activity, and who falls to at once
on the dish that happens to be before
him.
3. Your careless eater, who considers
so much time as lost that is passed at
the table, puts all dishes on the same
level, and hardly knows the difference
between the breast and the drumstick.
4. Next comes your ravenous ami
NAL, who thinks only of quantity, takes
everything that comes in his way, as if
anxious to show the capacity of his
stomach.
8. Lastly come the professors, men
of taste, who cast practiced eye over
the table before they eat, use judgment
in the choice of such dishes as suit their
habits, and eat sparingly of each, that
their palates may be gently exc ted by
variety.

A Woman with a History.

A daughter was born to Squire
George Parks, of Sloan Village,
Madison County, n. Y, on March &,
1S49. She was named Esther Adelia.
In her 10th year she began to make a
noise in the world. While all the rest
of the family were away from home one
day their farmhouse was burned to the
Nound. Esther was found prone on
the ground, bound hand and foot, and
with gag in her mouth. She told q
story that led to the arrest of two
Young men. One of them died before
the stain on his reputation had been
cleared away. Not long after this
Esther woke up the quiet community
by trying to blow her brains out with q
rifle. The furrow that the ball plowed
remains to this day. A month or so
after this she had fine time in Utica
for a few weeks. Then she was arrest
ed for masquerading in mems clothes.
She was sent to the hospital, where
she made rope of the sheets and es-
caped. She later made her way to the
Oneida Community. This escapade end
ed in her being sent to the Utica In

Stingy Women.

There is no place which gives bet
ter opportunity to study the difference
of the sexes than a street car, said a
conductor to St. Louis Globe re-
porter. Take any party of gentlemen
entering car, every man will try to
pay the fare for the whole crowd, but
take the same number of omen-did
you ever see one of them offer to pay
the fare for the party, or even for the
second member of the party? never
did, and I've been on the back platform
for eight years. A woman when she is
coming down town with a crowd al
ways loads her pocket book with
nickels-she takes care to get the
change at corner grocery or drug
store-and when the conductor gets
round to her she pumps out her
nickel, and lets her neighbor do the
same. She will even lend friend q
nickel sooner than pay her fare. I've
seen them lend each other nickels time
and time again, and sometimes, when
they have no nickel, they will say to
each other. "Pll pay your fare going
down; you pay mine coming back"

The treatment OF many thousands OF cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar To females, at the Invalds'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y,
has afforded vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies

DIR. Pierce's FavOritc Prescription

and valuable experience. Thousands OF
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested IL in the

The Founder of the Express Business.

Alvin Adams, the founder of the
Adams Express Company, was born in
Vermont and left an orphan at an early
age. He spent some years with his
brother on farm, and believing in the
Biblical injunction, $50 not to your
brothers house in the day of calamity"
he started out to find work for himself
among strangers. A gentleman con-
versant with his early history says: :
He offered himself to tavern-keeper
to do chores around the house for his
board. He groomed the horses, har-
messed the stages, mounted the box,
and drove short routes. He was sober,
steady, resolute and prudent. He
drifted to Boston, picked up odd Jobs
here and there, and built up good
trade. A panic swept over the land,
and commercial run followed He had
little money. his clothes were worn
out, and the future was dark. He got
two season tickets on the boat between
Boston and New York. He put one in
his pocket and handed the other to his
alternate. He came TO New York with
a small sum of money he had borrowed,
and with large reserve of industry,
integrity, and good faith he formed the
Adams Express Company, and started
it on its marvellous career of success.
He had no friends to back him and no
money to push him along. His express
matter was carried in a trunk as per-
sonal baggage. He went to Boston one
day and returned to New York the
next

Hereditary Diseases.

A fallacious notion has somewhat
crept in that an intellectual man must
be below par physically, and that the
one faculty is necessarily cultivated at
the expense of the other. The proverb,
mems safla in corpore sdno, has been
fouted as an absurdity. So much,
very briefly, for the first cause of race
degeneration; the second, and the one
to which this paper would direct atten-
ton, is the influence of hereditary
diseases. This factor has never re-
ceived the attention it should have had
at the hands of the writer's on social
science. The races of which we have
been speaking had little of this element
to contend with. The weaklings were
either deliberately exposed and left
to die, as in the case of the
Spartans, or if they attained maturity
hey were held in such low esteem
that they willingly kept in the
background. Look for moment at
CUR modern civilization and mark its
"a ametrically opposite tendency. Ev-
cry day hospitals are erected to nurture
the diseased and imperfect specimens
of our race, and every year thousands
of children are by skill and care saved
from the death to which nature will
consign them. All this accords with
our enlarged notions of humanity, and
reflects great credit on the zeal of the
philanthropist and the science of the
physician, but it exerts baneful effect
on the race. To one who has had ac'
cess to any large city hospitals it is
pitiful sight to see the multitude of
children who are tided over few years
and sent out into the world branded
with an hereditary faint, to propagate
their wretched breeds. The limits OF
this paper will not allow any extended
statistics, nor the nature of it warrant
a special discussion of hereditary dis
eases, but there are two whose effects
rare apparent to all, consumption and
insanity. The former, consumption,
using the term in its widest sense, has
for years produced the most frightful
ravages. For example, in England,
from 1887 to 1S4l, of the total number
of deaths from all causes, sixteen were
from consumption. In Philadelphia,
from 1910 to 1919, the death rate was
one of consumption to six and half
from all other causes, or about 10 per
-cent.-POpaJldr Scienc3 Monthly.

Kindness i'm Handling Horses.

w. C. Coup, the veteran Snowman,
says: "Our system of training horses
at the present day is to conquer the
horse by kind, but firm. treatment.
TO teach him that he has nothing to
fear at the hands of his trainer. In
that manner the confidence of q horse
is established, and then the labor of
teaching him what he is expected to do
follows. The old circus trainers, in
the days when one single educated
horse was marvel, accomplished
their ends by cruelty and making the
animal fear them. They accomplished
their ends to a certain extent, but
could not begin to approach that point
of perfection which we have arrived at.
Mr.. Buckley and Mr.. Bartholomew are
the pioneers of this new system of
training. Mr.. Buckley has spent his
life among horses and has the most
complete control over them. Their
affection for him is something wonder
full. They are quiet and contented in
his presence and even manifest pleas
ure, but let him be absent and they
become uneasy, impatient and actually
watch for his coming"

in q fiat, and Mrs. Callboard determined
to make home happy for Charley from
the start. No future Misunderstanding
should arise in their domestic arrange
ments. if her wisdom and tact could
prevent. When they sat down TO their
first meal Nellie helped him to an
Opaque slab of something about an inch
thick, that fell on the table with dull,
sickening thud. There IS soLe home

LincOln's gettysburg Sppech.

Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent anew Nation, conceived In liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now We
are engaged in great civil war, test
ing whether that Nation or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated can long
endure. We are met on great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as a
final restiug-rlace for those who have
given their lives that the Nat on might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But
In large sense we cannot dedicate, We
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it far above our power to
add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced
; 1t is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great work remaining before us I;
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to the cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this Nation, under
God, shall have new birth of free
dom, and that Government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people shall not perish from the
earth

Since the war dueling has almost
disappeared in Georgia. Any attempt
to revive the custom is met with ridi-
cule. The laugh was turned against
the barbarous custom in 1866, when
two editors quarreled and challenge
passed. A duel was confidently ex-
pected, but the challenged party re-
fused to accept on the ground that his
opponent was not whole man." hav-
ing lost leg, and that for a whole
man to fight against fragmentary one
would not be fair. The righteousness
of this explanation set the whole State
in roar of laughter, and from that
day dueling disappeared. Boston
